without pirlo we would have to rely heavily on tevez to create, thats really not his forte also he too might not be here next year. Barzagli, our best defender, will struggle to be an every day starter. Evra/licht are a year older in their thirties which definitely shaves off seconds in your sprint. Dybala cant be counted on as immediate impact, but he might pull a morata(fingers crossed). The reality is we just dont stack up against the elites pound for pound.
